I’ve had a stack of bottles sitting by the door for so long, the seasonal beers had gone out of distribution — Long Trail Hibernator and the Saranac winter sampler for the curious. It had gotten to the point I wouldn’t let myself buy any more beer until I’d gotten rid of the empties.

They’re gone now and I’ve got my nickels back. Plus I found some nifty small scrapers at the Goodwill store. No mayonnaise jar will leave Fort Awesome unemptied again!
